LT Bag Tag

The advantage of possessing a luggage tag lies not only in making your luggage easier to locate but also in protecting it from being stolen by someone else! I designed a bag tag as an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with basic 3D modeling techniques. Makers can discover the difference between extruding, engraving, and cutting out images, along with the fundamental use of a 3D printer. The design process begins with creating a drawing or searching for inspirational images that serve as the starting point for their tag. Next, using a 3D design tool such as Tinkercad to adjust the size of a basic, simple geometric shape that functions as the base for the tag. Following this, the time commitment required for 3D printing is approximately one hour and thirty-five minutes. This is succeeded by converting the images into file types suitable for the design tool, typically SVG files compatible with Tinkercad.
